Look at the product pictures. Here's the second pic of the Syba:

Some branders remove the logo. I generally avoid them for anything I'm getting, these days.
I see the reviews, as well, but have had no problems with any SI cards (nForce2, RS480, KT333, SiS735, SIS748 for the mobo chipsets). They don't give a lot of info, but I also take them with a grain of salt--too often when low reviews give enough info, they show users that should have had someone else do the work
.
I will admit that most of them have gone to Linux boxes, only a couple in Windows--but they were only more difficult due to needing drivers. So far the only data corruption that has occured using these cards turned out to be in a box with a Deer PSU, so I'm loathe to question the two SI3112 cards in that case (also, they've been working fine for a few months now, with a Sparkle).
